MONMOUTHSHIRE council has been given the good news that three of its parks have retained a coveted award by Keep Wales Tidy.
Tintern’s Old Station, Caldicot Castle and Abergavenny’s Castle Meadows were recognised by the environmental charity for maintaining high standards through the year by keeping their Green Flag award. Efforts made by volunteers and park managers were also praised.
Monmouthshire’s cabinet member for environment and countryside Cllr Giles Howard said: “It’s a source of great pride to us that three of our parks have been recognised as worthy of the Green Flag Award and have added to the accolades bestowed previously.
“Monmouthshire is a beautiful county and The Old Station, Caldicot Castle with its Country Park and Abergavenny’s Castle Meadows are among the venues that people flock to visit. I am particularly pleased that the awards recognise the effort and role of the volunteers at each site.”
